Going to buy some lasers… ebay

I emailed the seller about the angle. his response was

For calculations, at 3ft distance from the surface the line length is
between 3.5ft to 4 ft.

So if remember my trig, the calculaton would be arctan X = 1.75/2 =30.25 degrees*2 = 60.5 degrees (at 3.5ft)
Is this correct?

Do you think that this will provide ample coverage with two lasers in opposite corners, or should i shell out the extra 8 bucks and order the 89 degrees from AIXIZ

Thanks

I would go with the Line Lenses from AixIZ.  I have 4 of them, and they work brilliantly.
